Telstra CEO Vicki Brady sees pay cut after major network outage

Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady earned a $6.8 million pay package for the financial year, marking an 11 per cent increase. The pay rise coincided with a year in which the telecommunications company cut 1,200 jobs across the business.[1][2][3]

The financial year concluded three weeks before a nationwide network outage occurred that cut off access to Triple Zero emergency calls. Despite the timing of the financial year end, the major outage incident directly impacted Brady's final pay packet.[1][2][3]
